Get to Know Me

I began my journey as a therapist in 2013, looking for a new direction in life that helped others benefit from counselling in the same way I have. I wanted to connect to people and offer them a safe place to explore what was happening in their lives. 

​

The first part of my counselling career was working with people who have experienced domestic abuse and trauma and further expanding my skills working in general counselling practice with a wide range of life experiences. I then went on to work with young people in schools and colleges.

​

I really value my work as a counsellor and I learn from every single client I work with. It is a real honour to be with clients as they navigate the challenges of life. As a humanist, I support the right of every person to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be allowed to speak, and believe, as they wish

​

I live in Lancashire with my partner and two dogs. In my spare time I enjoy baking, crafting, nature and the outdoors, restoring our old house and watching films in my pyjamas.

​

I live with chronic illness and it's been a real challenge balancing work, life and family with keeping myself well. That's why I offer sessions focussed on living well with chronic illness, which draw on my experience as a counsellor and someone who lives each day with chronic illness.
